Random Fail: First World Problems

[Astylla]

I recently looked into it and have started to make moves towards a CA vacation centered around swimming with otters.

Edit win: Also related but in the wake of some pretty big long distance problems (some of which were mentioned here) between GF and I we ended up agreeing that we needed time together. She dropped about $900 total on last minute tickets and with only a few very small hiccups we had a week of amazing sex and fantastic making up and talking.

Admittedly, I'm biting my tongue on my own mixed feelings prior to this, but we had such a good time and honestly I have never been this happy with her so we will see. I think we we are both happy to have the distance be over and acknowledge why it hurt us to begin with.

But really if the sex stays like this I'm sorta good with whatever. So, otters.

Long distance is fucking tough so I hope things work out just keep in mind this may be a new honeymoon period but it may not also.
My brother in law and his wife were separated due to her finishing her electrician journeymanship and he leaving the army and coming back to California for over a year. There were times I was worried for them but he just graduated college with highest honors and you can tell they are exceptionally happy.

Sometimes going through the tough shit early on can really put things in perspective good and bad.

Watch total recall.

Funnily enough i actually watched that last week so too soon to be watching it again, seen the reboot aswell but don't remember any 3 titty mutant so can't of been that great.

or the 5th element

I feel ashamed to say this but never even gave this one a thought despite it being a favorite growing up so will definitely be my go to film next drunk film watching time so thanks for reminding me of that.

Man, Thursday was a day that I won't forget soon. I went to make my first inquiries about buying a home. Who knew it was so complicated. Pre-qual was easy. Got approved np. But all the shit after, talking to the realtor to see if they can get the buyer to come down (the apartment needs a bunch of work, carpets, flooring etc. so I can drive it down, plus seller lives in FL) additional shopping around, coming up with a massive 20% downpayment since it's a co-op and that's one of their requirements, hiring an attorney to get a contracts, board approval, jesus fuck.

On the upside, the apartment is very nice sized, maybe even bigger than what I have now (1000 sf) with the potential to be super nice when done with it. I hope I can get the seller down to 90k with all the work that needs to be done. I'd take it as is and then put anything additional towards the apartment. Gonna be a long few stressful months

After about 10 years of having my driver's license, I finally got my first traffic violation. Not even upset about that though. More upset that I got to the beach too late to try out this circuit I wanted to start today and I won't have time to do it until next weekend.

I've been tolerating the influx of baby pics on FB until one of the mom's decided to post a pic of the crib and shit ALL OVER IT because her child apparently is sick and making extremely disgusting messes.

Who the fuck does that?

Oh yea, 21 year olds with children, that's who. Fuck. (Not my sister, but her bff - the reason my sister got knocked up int he first place.)

[dasva]

From what I hear, it is not that easy anymore. You have to have a huge paperwork trail of all the previous offenses, how all those were handled, and that it was clearly explained to the student and parent that since the child already has 9 infractions this quarter, that one more will lead to an expulsion. And you better hope that kid is not a minority, because outside groups will suddenly take an interest in how the evil school is trying to deny an education to this poor, innocent student.

Deny education? Psh just go to another district. One of my close friends who had never gotten in really any trouble got expelled for ahem finding a teachers credit card and having stuff delivered to his house lol. Dude was in another school just a few miles away within a month or 2.


All right my fail... for some reason the main theater in town isn't playing Age of apocalypse and is instead playing DoFP. Now if the film looked a bit better I'd consider going farther to the extreme north end of town where the airport theater is playing it or the town south of us where it is also playing... but the idea of riding my bike 7-10 miles to see this film is rather bleh especially since I don't know if they even have good places to lock up my bike around and I have a bit of a headache. On the other hand I did want to go see something decent and get some good grub on the way but most the rest of the stuff playing I've seen or looks like shit or both lol. /sigh guess I xp. Or idk how shitty was Keanu?

One of the many tenants in my apartment complex is really shitty (no pun intended) - he leaves his Husky out on his patio all the time in the hot Houston weather and it inevitably shits all over the place without him cleaning it up.

At what point can I go over the heads of the apartment complex and just contact the police/ASPCA directly? pretty sure having dog shit everywhere is a public health hazard

[Airenn]

Sounds like my roommates backyard! Fucking terrible.

Dunno what you can do but gl. Hate having to traverse a fucking mine field of dog shit.

I feel this all too much. Just as one group is fine another starts posting pregnancy announcements blah. Those pics are ridiculous and prices some people shouldn't be allowed on social media.

[zoobernut]

I rarely post pics of my son on fb I get tired of seeing it too much for others. For me the best use of social media is to share my art and see others art. Oh and trolling.

[Airenn]

Baby pics I'm fine with. Pics of shit all over a crib? No.

Fuck you, Sammy, you should know better.

Apprehended/fired a team member for buying/carrying weed on him during his shift and on store property. For whatever reason I feel bad.

It's never a good feeling to be "that guy" but it's not personal it's business. I understand it sucking to do though.

[AidenCarby]

He should know better, he's at work lol fuck em

[Airenn]

As much as I am for weed not being so heavily stigmatized and definitely legal - yea, don't fuck around at work. Same with all things, don't bring your Mary Kay or even fucking Girl Scout Cookies. Get that shit outta here.

I think this is the wrong approach to work, though it is unfortunately common in the US. Work is a place where people gather to achieve a common goal, but the people that work there aren't unfeeling, unthinking drones. People should have downtime in which they can shoot the breeze with coworkers, and yes, that includes talking about their kids and their kids' fundraising shit. If your workplace is so strict you don't even have a few minutes to just chill, you should really evaluate what kind of working conditions you're subjecting yourself to. It's no way to live.

Also yeah, weed should be legal, and it's a shame when someone loses their job just because of a law which is technically still the law even though there's nothing morally wrong with what it covers. It's a bit like firing a bus driver during Jim Crow days for not forcing black ladies to the back of the bus. You kind of should feel like shit for firing that person, even if they weren't following the law.

[Airenn]

I just hate girl scout cookies, man.

[Blubbartron]

How you gonna hate on tagalongs?
